Good day to all who have looked at the blog)))

How many times have I noticed that no matter how varied, complex, appetizing and delicious food were not present at the festive table, the same self-cooked, uncomplicated cold cuts still enjoy continued popularity. Especially for men)) Therefore, today we are talking about how to beautifully arrange cold cuts on the festive table.

There was a time it even upset me, I fuss, you know, I try to reproduce masterpieces, and men reach past them for ordinary sausage ...

But then I realized that there are quite a few pluses and pluses in this, firstly, cold cuts will help out if there is not enough time for cooking.

Secondly, products for her are always freely available, and if some meat product is not on sale, then there are no problems - it is easy to replace it with something else.

And thirdly, cutting meat on the festive table can also become a kind of masterpiece, beautifully designed it will decorate the table, and I will have something to tinker with (I must say that I like to tinker with the festive table)).

I’m not an important inventor, but I’m good at reproducing recipes and their design, so not only a lot of recipes are stored in the “storerooms” on my computer, but also a slightly smaller number of photos of beautifully decorated dishes, including cold cuts on the festive table and her photo in various versions.

Meat cuts on the festive table at home, photo

Meat cuts can be completed from perfect different types meat and sausages, painlessly replacing one with another.

Suitable:

smoked sausage;
semi-smoked;
boiled;
dry-cured;
ham;
and independently.

Any of these products can be successfully and beautifully combined when serving.

At the same time, even the most minimal set of meat products can be arranged very effectively, look at specific examples of how good cold cuts look on the festive table in the photo, at home you can easily repeat this.

Meat cut, simple and beautiful

In these options, meat products are also laid out quite simply, but on a larger scale, due to which they look, respectively, more festive.

A very good combination of meat and cheese. It is wonderful both in appearance, and in taste, and with the layout, you don’t have to bother too much.

Bright vegetable and fruit "spots" - easy way add beauty to laid out meat products.

The meat products themselves can be laid out quite simply, but on dishes of an unusual shape.

Or lay out the cutting itself in an unusual way.

Sliced meat, very beautiful design and decoration with a photo

Very beautiful, but more complex options.

Sliced meat photo and design

But such cutting options have become just hits for me!

It may not look as elegant as the previous ones, but it is very effective, comfortable and especially satisfying.

Next to the slices of meat, “accompanying” products are laid out: bread, pickles, herbs, cheese, etc. so that guests can independently build sandwiches to taste. Great idea!

For me, the only problem so far is to find a suitable stand for this appetizing beauty))

In addition to, in fact, beautiful cutting and laying out meat products, you can make decorations from slices of sausage and meat, they lend themselves very well to laying and twisting. Therefore, I propose to watch a master class on how to make a flower from sausage with a description and step-by-step photos.

It turns out beautifully and everything is quite simple and understandable, try it.

Finally, the rules of how to beautifully arrange cold cuts on the festive table are few and can be listed in just a few points:

carefully clean the meat and sausage pieces from the packaging film. There are types of sausages (mostly dried and raw smoked), which are very difficult to clean, for this we read the next paragraph));
the film is better removed after the meat product has been in the cold, for this it must either be dipped in cold water for a few minutes or put in the freezer;
in addition, the film is easier to clean from a cold product, besides, it is much easier to cut a chilled sausage than a warm one. Well, the knife should be comfortable, with a thin, well-sharpened blade, since thin slices of sausage and meat both look prettier and fold easier;
it is recommended to cook the slices no earlier than an hour before serving, otherwise it will wind up, but I still prefer to cook it early so that I can slowly arrange it beautifully, and then I tighten the dish on top with cling film and put it in the refrigerator.

I hope you can pleasantly surprise your guests 🙂

Not a single holiday in Russia is complete without a large plate with circles of meat, which will whet the appetite of the guests of the celebration. Meat cutting on the festive table can be performed using completely different techniques. And the choice of products for creating a dish is wide. How to make cut from meat ingredients? Let's figure it out.

Choosing the ingredients

Cold cuts belong to the group of main dishes of the feast. Usually it consists of such products as sausage, boiled pork, salami, beef, lard with a meat layer, salmon. For decoration, vegetables that slowly deteriorate in the air, fresh and dried herbs, as well as olives and olives of all colors, fruits, soft and hard cheeses are used. Boiled chicken or quail eggs, a large list of different types of sauces, bee honey and berry jams will come in handy for you.

In fact, culinary art allows you to create the most extraordinary. There are numerous photos on the network at home that will greatly facilitate the cooking process. The composition and method of serving snacks will depend only on the budget and imagination of the cook. How to choose the right one and decorate it in an original way on a dish? We have prepared unusual ideas for our readers.

Recipes for cuts on the buffet table

Start cutting by creating delicious sauce: mix 2 large spoons soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, as many olive oil and pepper. Put the pieces in a baking dish chicken breast, sprinkle everything with crushed garlic and pour over the sauce, and then let it freeze for about 12 hours in the refrigerator. Wrap the already marinated chicken in cling film and beat her off. Lay all the bacon slices on an angle, then roll the breast and bacon into a roll stuffed with several gherkins and a mixture of chicken and minced pork. Secure the dish with special food threads, and after 40 minutes bake at a temperature of 200 degrees. Festive cutting you need to sue, cut into beautiful pieces a centimeter wide or a couple and serve. You can decorate the appetizer with small pickled cucumbers and dill.

If the product is not sublime palatability, you can play it appearance. The design of the cut in the form of a flower starts from the middle. Fold a piece of sausage in half, do the same with other slices of equal size. Then make the second row: lay out the folded pieces until they close the semblance of a circle. The last row is made using the same technology. For a greater visual resemblance to a plant, we advise you to decorate the dish with greens or leaves of decorative flowers. As you can see, cutting meat gives an unusual chance to present even bored everyday products to the table. The algorithm in the photo at home and the text description will help you deal with this dish.

This simple recipe will help you if guests arrive unexpectedly quickly. The first layer on the plate consists of cut at an angle. Next come the smoked cheese mugs. It is important that they are thin. Third step - a new layer of damp smoked sausage. Place ordinary hard cheese, halves of sausage circles on top at an angle. Try to arrange the remaining pieces of sausage in rolls, and arrange pieces of green olives in the middle. It will take no more than 15 minutes to prepare such a cut.

To implement this recipe, prepare 500 grams lard with large layers of meat. You need to start cooking cuts from the loin by creating a pickling solution. It must be made from 150 grams edible salt, onion peel, spices to your taste and a couple of garlic cloves. You need to put the fat in the brine, and then boil it on the stove for about 8 minutes. Remove the boiled loin, rub with spices and garlic. For about 24 hours, you need to leave the meat in the freezer, during which time the loin will acquire a pleasant color, as after smoking.

As soon as the pork loin freezes, thinly slice the dish and place on a flat plate. You can serve the loin in portions, but traditionally they put it on a single plate. Some prefer to use a loin with onion and garlic as part of a large cut. An interesting combination of colors of meat and loin will advantageously emphasize the color scheme of the table.

into little pieces white bread lay out the rolled pieces of smoked sausage. Next to them, arrange thin, thin mugs of fresh green cucumber and a quarter of a tomato. Use ripe or pickled. Cut the boiled quail eggs into halves, put one on top of the bread so that the yolk is on top. Sprinkle the eggs with dried herbs and serve on a single dish. For greater structural stability, you can fasten the cut with wooden skewers.

First, cut the body of an insect from a peeled cucumber. Give the cucumber relief. On a serving plate, start laying out the wings in a "c" shape. Lay thin slices of raw smoked sausage or salami on top, top with doctor's sausage, thinly sliced bacon rolls. In the middle of the wings, arrange fresh parsley leaves, and on them - a peeled cucumber. The design touches remained: eyes made of peppercorns, antennae made of skewers with carrot or cucumber endings.

Pour into hot water drinking water, add the peeled onion, carrot and chopped garlic clove. There you also need to place a bay leaf, food table salt, ground pepper and spices that you like. Wait until the water boils. Kilogram fresh pork meat tie with a string for cooking so that it does not deform during heat treatment. Boil the meat in hot water, it will take 60 minutes to fully cook, but in no case do not pierce it. In this case, natural juice will pour out of the boiled pork.

Once the meat is out of the water, pat dry with paper towels and coat the pork with the crushed garlic and spice mixture. Wrap the boiled pork with food foil and place the meat for a day in a cool place: freezer or refrigerator. After this time, unfold the boiled pork, cut it into slices and serve as you like. Boiled pork is able to successfully complement any buffet table.

The first layer is pieces of salami. It is important that they are thin: it is easier to taste the taste. Lay sliced on the sides boiled tongue, ham. In the remaining free space, place a leaf of lettuce, and dried sausages (at least one kind, at least several) on top of it. You can use any type of meat, but we recommend using this combination. Place a small gravy boat on a lettuce leaf. sour cream sauce or tartar, and put twisted pieces in the middle of the cut doctor's sausage and thin slices of pickled cucumber.

It takes a lot of patience and creativity to make this dish. How to bring food from an aesthetic frame to life step by step? Make an eye out of a boiled egg: the yolk will play the role of a fish pupil. Top with black peppercorns if desired. Sponges cut out of half juicy tomato, and lay the scales of thinly sliced salami on a flat surface. The fins and dorsal ridge are made from small cherry tomatoes and slices hard cheese. To form a fish tail, you will need a different type of sausage: it is desirable that it be larger than the first and cut at an angle. If you use the instructions correctly, you will be able to interesting dish in the form of an inhabitant of the seas.

Slicing - original way warm up the anticipation of the meal among the guests, and our simple recipes help to quickly bring to life all the holiday ideas.

Slicing helps housewives quickly and beautifully decorate the festive table. It is irreplaceable at receptions and picnics.

Serving sliced

What you need to work

In order for the cutting to look beautiful, you need to choose a flat dish of a suitable shape and sharpen the knives well.

Perfect even pieces are obtained only with a sharp knife with a wide blade. A thin knife is difficult to keep in one plane. The wide blade helps keep the right direction.

It is convenient to cut dense products by directing hand movements from top to bottom. However, when it comes to tender meat or fish fillet, in this case some skill is required. It is convenient to cut thin layers of the product by moving the knife in a horizontal plane. In this case, the soft mass will be cut much more evenly.

To work with fruits and vegetables, it is convenient to use carving kits (curly and artistic cutting). Knives of various shapes help to give the slices an unusual and festive look.

In order for tall fruit compositions to keep their shape, experienced chefs use pre-prepared foam forms or cut them out of a pumpkin, zucchini or any other vegetable that is suitable in shape and volume.

To fix the rolls and pouches, toothpicks are used. Assorted fruit on skewers are convenient in that they form portions that are convenient to take from a common dish.

dish shape

Serving utensils set the tone and dictate how food is laid out. For example, rectangular and square plates are convenient for laying out products in even rows. And round and oval dishes are good for the radial arrangement of pieces. In this case, fan compositions look good, as well as various rolls, flowers and all kinds of “ruffles” and “frills” from vegetables.

Bread and butter cutting

Bread and butter appear first on the table. They can be served in portions to each guest on a pie plate, or you can arrange a beautiful composition on common dish in the center of the table.

For a bread plate you will need different kinds bakery products:

gray, black, white bread;
loaf;
pita;
unsweetened homemade baking etc.

Products are cut into slices and laid out on a dish in the form of a beautiful composition. You can put a butter dish in the center of the dish.

If there is a meat dish on your farm, then alternate bread sections with sandwich butter. It can be warmed up a little before serving until soft, mixed with spices, dyed with various vegetables and cooled again in molds or in the form of loaves.

Oil can be supplied in various ways.

Transfer to a dish through a pastry bag or a syringe with curly nozzles.
Cut into slices of butter with cookie cutters.
Cool in the form of figures and serve.
Cut chilled butter bars with curly carving knives.
Freeze the product and grate it.

fish cut

Behind the bread and butter, fish snacks appear on the table. They can be supplemented with cuts of smoked, boiled and salted fish. The main rule is that the dish should look beautiful and awaken the appetite.

The fish is supplemented with lemon, herbs, olives, colored and white onions, peas.

Solo parts are decorated in the form of a whole fish, the pieces of which are shifted with slices of lemons and onions.

In the center of the cut, which involves various types of fish, you can place a composition of pickles, shrimp and other seafood, crayfish, boiled eggs, caviar.

A good combination is obtained when red fish is served with white fish. A large fillet is cut on a slicer and laid out in strips or in the form of rolls and bags.

cold cuts

Accompanies cold and hot meat appetizers. Sausages, boiled pork, tongue, liver, salted and smoked meat, etc. participate in it.

Products are cut on a slicer into thin slices. Lay out on a platter in strips. At the same time, it is desirable to combine lean and fatty pieces in one composition so that guests can choose what they like best.

Sausage loaves make beautiful rose petals. To get a flower, it is enough to lay out the sausage circles in the form of one long ribbon, laying one piece on top of the other. Then the ribbon is folded into a roll, and a magnificent terry flower is obtained.

In the company of meat, cherry, salted and fresh cucumbers, sweet pepper, lemon and lime. You can also decorate the sliced \u200b\u200bwith eggs, green peas, string beans.

Pickled garlic and onions can be served in the same platter if you are using a miner. Meat sections are good to alternate with sauces and sour vegetables and citrus fruits. Sour vegetables and fruits (lemon, grapefruit, lime), some types of berries (cranberries) help the stomach absorb heavy fatty foods.

Vegetable mix

Start slicing vegetables, cheese and fruits last, because they quickly lose their attractive appearance.

Cucumbers, grated horseradish and onions are served with hot broths. It is good to have ice on the table for cold soups. The main dishes look beautiful against the background of vegetable slices.

Marinated vegetables should be allowed to drain slightly so that there is no excess brine on the dish. This applies to petal cabbage "pelyustka", cucumbers, zucchini, etc.

Fresh vegetables should be cut into portions. Their form may be different:

whetstones;
cubes;
cutting with curly knives;
carving;
notches for cookies;
special devices for obtaining sinuous “ruffle” ribbons;
etc.

Place a gravy boat with mayonnaise, sour cream or your signature sauce in the center of the dish. Decorate the composition with fresh herbs.

Juicy tomatoes are cut into thin circles if they go with an aperitif. When they are supposed to be served with hot dishes, the tomatoes will drain in this form. In this case, it is better to serve them in quarters or halves, depending on the size. Cherries can be left whole.

Cheese Sliced

Cheese goes well with meat and fruits. Therefore, it can be served both with appetizers and with dessert.

For cheese plate use multiple different varieties cheese. Cut soft varieties into cubes. Solid - plates. Alternate the pieces, placing the rows in the direction from soft tender to sharp savory.

Together with cheese on a plate, you can serve grapes, cherry tomatoes, sausage, meat, lemon.

fruit cut

Some fruits should be served sliced. This applies to pineapples, melons, watermelons. You can use bananas, citrus fruits, apples, pears in cutting. Sometimes strawberries are cut into slices.

Bananas, pears, apples and feijoas darken. To avoid this, they are sprinkled with lemon juice before serving.

Quite often, fruit cutting is laid out in the form of slides and high compositions. This allows you to leave enough space on the table for cake and sweet dishes. In this case, skewers are used, on which fruit platter is strung. Skewers can be attached to zucchini, pumpkin or other suitable vegetable, or you can use watermelon peel for this purpose.

Watermelons and melons are served in slices with peel or cut into cubes or balls. Noiset knives form neat balls. The diameter of the tool is selected depending on the composition and volume of the fruit.

Pineapples can be cut into rings, cubes or half rings. Sometimes they are served directly on the peel, from which the pulp is cut.

As you can see, it’s quite simple to serve slices of bread, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables and fruits beautifully. The main thing is a sharp knife, experienced hands or a good slicer. And of course, a sea of imagination and good mood.

To build a whole masterpiece from different types of meat or limit yourself to one, decorate with herbs or vegetables, and maybe fruits - there are a lot of options.

The composition of cold cuts on the festive table

The basis of the meat plate can include all kinds of sausages and meat snacks. The main thing is that externally they are beautifully combined.

On a note. The food in the dish should be thinly and neatly sliced. To do this, it is recommended to use a knife with a thin blade or a special device - a slicer.

What can you take:

any kind of boiled or smoked sausage;
boiled pork;
salami;
pork ham;
salo;
language;
poultry meat;
basturma;
salmon;
meat rolls;
bacon;
ham;
pate, etc.

Sliced meat is supplemented with other products. The most common option is to decorate the dish with vegetables. Most often combined with tomatoes (including cherry tomatoes), cucumbers, bell pepper, radish, beets.

You can decorate the plate with fresh herbs: green onion feathers, cilantro sprigs, sorrel, parsley, garlic, basil, etc. Greens will not only add brightness to the dish, but also add health and fresh flavor.

In the cold season, pickles are used. Pickled cucumbers, garlic, tomatoes and peppers will do. Olives or olives look great, as well as pickled mushrooms. You can put a handful of sauerkraut in the center of the dish.

The decoration of sliced \u200b\u200bfruits and berries looks elegant and appetizing. Watermelon, pear, blackberry, grapes, lemon slices, kiwi, strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds go well with sausage.

You can use several types of berries and fruits or decorate the meat with one favorite fruit.

The classic combination is cold cuts with cheese. Use as one type of cheese, and several. It can be cut into cubes, slices, wrap sausage slices in cheese or make canapés on skewers.

Meat cuts on the festive table recipes

Option 1. Simple cutting, decorated with olives

Components:

Salami sausage - half a stick;
Smoked meat (for example, balyk) - 250 g;
Boiled pork - 250 g;
Olives - 1/2 can;
Lettuce leaves 5 pcs.

How to cut

Finely chop the salami with a sharp knife. Diagonal cutting will look spectacular.
Cut the balyk into neat thin slices.
We also cut the boiled pork, trying to make the pieces the same.

How to post

We find a flat plate, at one end spread the lettuce leaves in a fan (on top of each other).
We place slices of salami on the leaves, twisting them into spirals.
We make the balyk in two layers and put it in the upper part of the plate in a circle.
Next comes the third type of meat or sausage.
We complete the cooking with olives - pour them into the center, getting rid of the brine.

On a note. Olives can be replaced with olives. They will give the dish a pleasant sourness.

Option 2. Christmas tree on the table

Ingredients:

Balyk - half a kilo;
Smoked sausages - half a kilo;
Parsley - a bunch.

Remember! Spread the meat in such a way that it does not extend beyond the edge of the plate. This looks messy.

Cooking algorithm:

Cut the balyk into thin slices.
The rest of the sausage in the same way (as thin as possible, the slices should be the same).
On a large white dish, first lay out the most large pieces This is the bottom layer of the tree.
Others follow sausages. We build a Christmas tree from the bottom up (from large pieces to small ones).
The levels of the tree should be emphasized with parsley, and the trunk can be made from one piece of sausage.

Option 3. Olives in sausage

Ingredients:

120 g sliced carbonate;
1 cucumber;
olives;
greens.

Cut the cucumber into rings (preferably with a curly knife).

Make a slit in each piece of cucumber. In the hole we place a piece of carbonate, rolled into a roll.

Top with olives and herbs.

Slicing meat on the festive table step by step

Imagine three simple options arrangement of meat on a plate.

On a note. Large meals look great. Spread better from the edge to the center of the plate. To make the cut look bright and play with colors, you need to combine products of different shades.

1st method: lay out the meat in square blocks or simply in groups;

2nd method: build several strips of different types of meat, and the layers can overlap each other;

3rd method: make a geometric pattern (for example, spread out in a circle or spiral).

Cutting will look even more spectacular if you add a flower from the sausage. How to make a flower:

It will take boiled sausage. It must be cut into thin equal slices. Fold them in half in the form of a track.
Twist the track into a tube.
Tie the resulting tube green onions or a rubber band.
Trim the bottom so that the flower is stable and place it in the appetizer.
Place 6 slices of sausage rolled in half around the flower.
Lower the outer petals down to make the flower lush and add greenery.

Another step by step beautiful design cold cuts are presented in the video.

Festive meat cheese cut

Salami sausage - 1 stick;
salmon - 400 g;
hard cheese - 200 g;
dill - 1 bunch

First, cut the salami. Better at an angle so that the slices are long. It is important that the thickness is approximately the same.

Shred the cheese in a thin layer. If desired, it can be replaced with another type of sausage.

Now let's assemble the dish:

We arrange the salmon in a circle, while folding the slices in half, pressing the ends with a new piece.
We put a ring of cheese on the salmon (we also double the slices or roll them into a tube).
Place the rolled salami on top in a circle.

The composition can be completed with greenery, decorating the sides of the dish, or scatter it on top of the cut.

Making cold cuts on the festive table, ideas

Consider several options for cutting the cut. They will help decorate even the most boring table.

The dish will become even more attractive if you add it with sauce, mustard, seasoning, mayonnaise, etc., placing the container with the contents directly on the plate. Thus, it is important to decorate large trays of meat by placing the sauce right in the middle of the cut.

Fruits with meat, for example, strawberries, look original.

You can turn on your imagination and depict an insect (for example, a butterfly) with the help of meat, vegetables and greens.

Or poultry with cheese and sausage. Children will especially like this option.

Flowers from sausage look unusual. Such roses can refresh any simple cut.
